Shanghai Tip - Side Table

Design: Patricia Urquiola (2006).

The architecture of lightness.

Sophisticated yet comforting, understated luxury with a vaguely Oriental feel. Simple and minimal when in the standard position; supremely comfortable when the backrest, which has a tilting mechanism, is raised. The chrome-steel or black painted tube legs are reminiscent of the colored wooden sticks used for playing Mikado (or pick-up sticks, known as Shanghai in Italian). Comfort is an intrinsic feature and achieved through down-filled seat cushions upholstered in clean, neutral shades which contrast perfectly with the splashes of color provided by the throw cushions and lacquered side tables in plum, emerald green, paprika, and lacquer red.

Top in steel plate, the base is tubular steel with chrome finish or powder coat finish.
